We arrived in Mexico City in the early afternoon. We were all getting kind of hungry, so we decided we would eat around 5:00 PM. Prior to that, we would make a few stops at different places and maybe a snack would be in order. We started in the City Center, where I knew we would find plenty of things to do an look at. Centro Historico; as it is called, can accommodate over 100,000 people at any one time; so I am told.

Over the years, Centro Historico has been home to protests and governments overthrown, rally's and  fights among the people. On a more positive note, it is home to some of the most beautiful buildings, churches and museums that I have ever seen. We decided to do the museums which would be an educational and relaxing thing to do prior to dinner.

It is always amazing to me how ancient city's like Mexico City have come into fruition. Who were the architects of the 16th Century Spaniards. What was their thought process. And how did they rally the people and get them to work long and tireless hours to make this place what it is; a true gem in the history of South America; or Southern North America, I guess.

As we toured the City Center square, I decided on Bistro Mosaico. This place seemed to have not only a Mexican, but French flair as well. I reasoned that this would be a wonderful place to try both true Mexican and French Fusion. The combination of two countries. I ordered pate as an appetizer, which the kids had only had one other time at a restaurant in Charlotte, North Carolina, with their father after a meeting that he had. The enjoyed this succulent duck liver on both crackers and homemade bread. The menu needed to be translated to us, but looked absolutely amazing. Having enchiladas and burritos and chimichangas, we were all stuffed by the time we left. Finally we enjoyed fried ice cream to top it off.

I found suitable accommodations for the evening and we laid down to rest.
